In commutative algebra, the elementary symmetric polynomials are a basic family of building blocks for symmetric polynomials, in the sense that any symmetric polynomial can be written as a polynomial in the elementary symmetric polynomials, using only addition, multiplication, and constants alongside them. For each positive integer d up to the number of variables n, there is exactly one elementary symmetric polynomial of degree d in n variables, formed by adding together all of the distinct products of d different variables.

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
